Windlass Contactor / Solenoids in Sealed Box - Dual Direction - 24V

Lewmar Windlass Contactor / Solenoids in Sealed Box - Dual Direction - 24V

The Lewmar 68000130 is a heavy-duty dual solenoid contactor pack engineered to provide reliable bidirectional power control for windlasses and bow thrusters operating on 24V DC systems. The unit is enclosed in a sealed, watertight box rated to IP55, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and against water projected from a nozzle in any direction — making it suitable for installation in chain lockers, anchor compartments, or any other location where moisture, spray, and physical exposure are a concern.

The split-field contactor design allows the unit to switch current direction for both deploy and retrieve operations. It is compatible with a wide range of Lewmar windlass models, including the CPX2, CPX3, Concept 1, and the V-Series windlasses: V1, V2, V3, V5, and V8-2500. The design accommodates both series wound and permanent magnet motor types, giving installers flexibility across different windlass configurations.

This sealed contactor box is particularly useful in new installations or as a replacement where solenoids are located in areas exposed to dampness, bilge spray, or general environmental hazards. The robust enclosure protects internal components from corrosion and mechanical damage, extending service life in demanding marine environments.
